Family
Not much is known about the family of lineage Minato Namikaze came from. And for most of Naruto, it was presumed that he had passed away without ever revealing more about his personal life.
Kushina Uzumaki
With the release of chapter 367, Kishimoto revealed that Minato did have a love interest, Kushina Uzumaki, a ninja of the former Whirlpool Country. She was noted to have a tomboyish demeanor, always jabbering away and acting like on of the boys. Despite red hair that matched her temperamental personality, she grew up to be very beautiful. It has not been indicated as to how long Minato had known her and whether they were married or soon planning to marry, but both Jiraiya and Tsunade appear to have known her quite well. And Minato and Kushina’s relationship was strong enough, as the two left behind a child after dying during the Nine Tails’ attack and the aftermath of it – a boy named Naruto Uzumaki.
Naruto Uzumaki
Yes, Naruto, our title boy of the series. There were many that doubted this to be true due to such uncertainty, but indeed Naruto gets his spiky blonde hair and blue eyes from Minato, though his personality and ninjutsu style come in large part from his mother Kushina, as well as his surname. Kakashi stated that he believed the only one who would surpass the Yondaime would be Naruto, a ninja who is the legacy and carries the bloodline of that genius shinobi in his veins.
